From Churchill's War Rooms by Joanna Moody
Published for the first time, this illuminating and poignant correspondence offers a rare insight into the workings of the Cabinet War Rooms towards the end of the Second World War, and documents the rich wartime experiences of a woman with exclusive access to the closed world of Churchill's inner circle. 1939-1945 saw many important events of the Second World War. Yet a young secretary, Olive Christopher, was party to the political secrets of these crucial final years, working in Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms.
'One of the most atmospheric eyewitness accounts of that time' -- Elizabeth Grice * The Daily Telegraph *
